Jaden McDaniels (23 points, 6 rebounds), Karl-Anthony Towns (23 points, 12 rebounds) and Anthony Edwards (16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists) combined for 62 points in the victory, while Jamal Murray (35 points, 4 3pt. FG) and Nikola Jokic (34 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists) combined for 69 for the Nuggets in the losing effort.
Minnesota’s 20 point comeback was the largest in a Game 7 in the play-by-play era (1997-98), passing
Cleveland Cavaliers, 18 points vs Magic (R1, 2024)
Minnesota reaches the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2004 when they faced the Lakers (2-4). This is the only other time Minnesota has made it to the Western Conference Finals

If you blow a 20 point lead at home you do not deserve to win. I've been pulling for the Nuggets all playoffs and making my voice heard, but that's the truth. They did not deserve to move on, while the Timberwolves did. I can't point to bad officiating, flopping, or any kind of shenanigans. It was just great defense and a strong, clean team effort that brought Minnesota back, while Denver capitulated. Much respect, Minnesota.👏

Timberwolves with 6 players in double figures vs Nuggets with only 2. That's your game, no shot making from Gordon/MPJ/KCP or the bench. - Edwards was terrible offensively, but the Wolves got at least 5-6 threes off his penetration and he stayed locked in defensively. - McDaniels shot the hell out of the ball the last two games on top of All-Defense play. - Gobert got the Nuggets in foul trouble in the 3rd and 4th quarters. AND THAT FADEAWAY WTF XD - Towns was the most stable offensive player all night and guarded Jokic well all series. - Naz being able to replace Towns's production in the 4th quarter is a crazy advantage. They just replace one rebounding defensive stretch big with another.
